2023, Stage 2 Hufflepuff vs Gryffindor: Match 5 Done

⠀

┏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀┓ date | 01.29.23 dialogue | #5e638d ┗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀┛ Reducio @Hades Schweighöfer doing as strategized

The momentum of the duel was rapidly shifting to the Gryffindors' side, and Callista found herself clenching her jaw in frustration. The longer the duel wore on, the faster her energy seemed to fade, and she was tempted to just wrap everything up already.

Hold on, now. Don't make any hasty decisions.

"Expelliarmus." With a swift incantation, Rose's wand flew out of their hands. The reason behind her switch in target would remain a secret for now; maybe she just wanted a change. As lovely as Kim was, surely you would get tired of looking at him for so long. Whatever the case, Calli was just glad the spell had been executed properly because Hades seemed to have far worse luck.

Two separate spells soared into the boy, and Callista winced at the sight. The flames on Kim had died out, and now it was Hades' turn to be the boy on fire. He certainly looked worse for the wear, but surely he'd be able to last for a little longer..?

He intended to cast the fire spell, and despite doing well, his rival managed to dodge it and was not injured in the process. That made him feel frustrated. And wait for the worst... Hades was struck by a spell from Kim, which caused the badger boy to say a curse addressed to who was considered a friend. This couldn’t get much worse than he had thought. They were really having problems? And since when had Hades been vulnerable? In his opinion, Kim was not at his level. Wild thinking!

At this point, it was when Rose performed the spell and realized that that girl had copied him. And he was struck again. This time he made him very angry “What a cheat!” he said, letting go his frustration. Yes, he needed to control his temper but he thought he had the situation under control. In the end, it proved he didn't. He smiled when he discovered that Rose’s wand had flown, thanks to his partner Callista. Now they had to regain the advantage, and revenge would be sweet.

Rose pointed her wand at Hades again. “Incendio,” she murmured, and as the spell flew from her wand towards her opponent, she saw Kim’s come with it. Both spells hit Hades. Rose smiled at their success. Now they were getting somewhere.

She did feel a little bad for the duelist, but it was dueling. He had signed up for this. Hades exclaimed something about her being a cheat. Rose furrowed her brow- what had she done that had been cheating? True, they had happened to cast the same spell (though Kim was able to smoothly dodge it), but that didn’t mean she had copied him. Rose rolled her eyes at his comment. He was just upset that he was losing.

As another round rolled in, the standing Duellists proved to themselves and their opponent their Duelling prowess. Well, three out of four that is. As the end of the line for today's match can be seen on the future horizon, Callista Lovis, a third-year Hufflepuff, did not waste her time for one bit. Pointing her wand toward Kim Sato with determination.

With an expert of any other Duellist at her age, Calli had flung the Slowing Charm at the second-year Gryffindor. It was almost a miss hit but at the last second, Kim was too slow to dodge the incoming attack. And thus, Calli managed to hit her intended target. Perhaps the second time was the charm but if only Hades' spell worked alongside him.

Choosing the same spell and the same target, Hades Schweighöfer had flown the Fire-Making spell II at Kim Sato's way. Called it intuition or perhaps Kim was tired to get burned one too many times, he knew by his heart the wand movement for any kind of fiery spell. And when the jet of fire was emitted from Hades' wand coming toward the youngest out of the four, Kim jumped out of the way before the spell could ever hit him.

It was a risque move for one Rose Moon. But a wand was like an extended hand for any witch or wizard. Spells had flung left and right around her but Rose was determined to search and take ahold of her wand. After she crawled around the stage for awhile while praying no one targeted her, Rose finally succeeded in finding her wand and it did not take her that long to find her prize possession.

If one doubted why the Sorting Hat had put Kim into the house of the brave Gryffindor, Cash would suggest they come and take a look at today's Duelling matches. While Rose Moon crawled all over the piste to search and take a hold of her wand again, Kim heroically held the fort. Zeroing his eyes at his friend? Enemy? Who cares! Kim Sato wanted to try his luck once again.

It seems repeating spells was today's match theme. Just like what Hades did, Kim Sato also used the spell that he shot toward the fourth-year badger Hades Schweighöfer not so distance ago. Who said lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, had not met Kim Sato's Duelling prowess. With a flamboyant, flourish of spell incantation and wand movement for the Knockback Jinx, Kim once again successfully sends the spell toward Hades's way.

Unlike the last round where Kim shot the spell that could hurt Hades, this time around the force behind Kim's Flipendo was not enough to put Hades out of the equation and down on the ground. A hit was a hit. But as long as the last round has not rolled in yet, the tide still could turn anytime. From the looks of it, favor and odd were on the Gryffindor's side. So far, anyway.

Rose cast her eyes around the stage. Two spells rushed towards Kim, and he was able to dodge one of them easily. The other one hit him, slowing his movements. Rose recognized it, and she had to admit it was a good strategy. Rose spied her wand and quickly grabbed it from the floor, retaking her position. Being left without a wand was not a calming experience- it made her feel pretty helpless, actually. She glanced over at Kim. His hit had been a success, but only barely. It didn't seem to do as much damage as it usually would.

Hang in there.

The duel was moving slowly. And that seemed a little frustrating because he wanted to finish it as soon as possible. He watched as his housemate Callista performed the spell, and this time he would not be surprised if Kim managed to dodge it. But no. He was definitely hit. That made him smile “Well done Calli.” he said with a smile, trying to offer her all his support. They needed to take back what was lost, and move on to the next round. Unfortunately... He didn't hit Kim.

How was it possible? If Kim was only a kid, and as far as Hades remembered, he was not as courageous as he would have shown in this duel “We have to win at all costs.” Hades said to Callista, as he watched as Rose tried to grab his wand. That’s when Kim cast the spell, and hit Hades but not so hard “This must be a joke! This fool can dodge me but I can’t dodge this dumbass?” he asked, thinking whether Gryffindor’s had used cheating. He was furious.

Did Not Post

Two more rounds were around the corner and the Duel match for this stage will be over soon. The slot for today's match was only an hour but Cash felt like it took ages to get up to this point. The Duelling Co-Captain for the Slytherin team tried to suppress their yawn. It was not that the match was dull and lack of action, no, it was the opposite of that.

But Cash just wants this match to get over soon. Once again Cash tried to swallow down their tired yawn. Their eyes and head still need to get into the game since the Duel was not over. Seizing the opportunity and since Hades barely hang on by the thread, Kim Sato jutted out his trusted wand and pointed out toward the fourth-ear Hufflepuff, Hades Schweighöfer.

With a good amount of force of his spell-casting, Kim had sent a decent blow in the form of Flipendo. Perhaps it was Kim's way of retaliation for being hit one too many times and he had had enough of it. The end of Hades' uniform started to burn and the fire will slowly travel up. Meanwhile, Rose Moon did not too far from her partner.

Seeing the window of opportunity was opened, the redhead Gryffindor that used to be Cash's friend also slings her own brand of attack. Taking for their last page both Kim and Rose attacked Hades with Knockback Jinx and the Fire-Making Spell II at the same time. As the Incendio Duo hit Hades Schweighöfer with great force, the boy was out of the competition and the equation.

But before Rose Moon successfully delivered her lethal blow, Hades Schweighöfer also succeeding heal himself but it was not enough to make the boy stand on his own two feet and continued with the match. "Time out, time out!"Cash made a cross gesture in front of their chest and bumping it against one another softly while speaking in Spanish to signal the remaining Duellists to take a breather before the next round will continue.

The Cloud Cobras' Beater stepped onto the platform and asked one of the house elves to step into the piste for them to take Hades out of the stage and from harm's way. Once Hades was no longer up on the stage, Cash nodded their head for them to continue. But it seems once again Callista Lovis was under a trance since she just stand there and do nothing

Perhaps if she did something and got Hades' back, the older boy still got a fighting chance. But oh well, what was done was done and Cash only hope Callista will broke out from her reverie soon.
